I proposed that a section (about 4 km) of the MRT system be shut down for about a week to allow for a thorough inspection, maintenance, repair and testing of all the components of the system.
During this time, 100 buses will be used to provide a bridging service to carry the passengers across the section that is closed down.
I would use this method to carry out the thorough repair work one section at a time and to complete all the work over one year.
Somebody asked - where can you find 100 buses?
I do not know why some people have a habit of looking for excuses not to take action. I checked Google and found that we have 17,000 buses in Singapore.
It should be quite easy to set find 100 buses that can be used for this bridging service. I am sure that the private bus owners would be delighted to provide this service, if the fee is attractive. We should also be able to use the public buses, as there should be some spare capacity.
